LG's new G-Flex smartphone curves, but does it bend?

Just last month we told you LG's curved take on the smartphone was launching by November. Engadget's got a couple of new renders of the device, the LG G-Flex, but apart from its curves, there's no hint that the LG phone will live up to its name and be a bit more bendy than phones we're used to.

The ultimate butt-dialer?

What is confirmed, though, is that the G-Flex will have a 6-inch display (according to Engadget's sources). Besides aping the curve of Nokia's classic bananaphone, we're a little stumped as to what the selling point of the new model will be. A phone you can sit on and not worry it'll break under the force of your behind? Stay tuned.
